Answer 1

In my case I'm using an external maven installation with m2e. I've added my proxy settings to the external maven installation's settings.xml file. These settings haven't been used by m2e even after I've set the external maven installation as default maven installation.

To solve the problem I've configured the global maven settings file within eclipse to be the settings.xml file from my external maven installation.

Now eclipse can download the required artifacts.
